# How to Set Up a White Label Client Portal: 8-Step Guide

**To set up a white label client portal, define what clients should see, choose a platform, apply your branding, connect a custom domain with SSL, set up branded email with SPF and DKIM, configure client permissions, add projects and invoice templates, then pilot with one or two clients before inviting everyone. Most teams finish in under a week.**

If you have ever dug through three email threads and a Google Drive folder to find one client file, then sent an invoice from a different tool with a different logo, you already know the problem it solves. Shared folders were never built for this, as our [client portal vs Google Drive](https://taskip.net/client-portal-vs-google-drive/) comparison shows.

This guide shows you how to set up a white label client portal one step at a time, including the exact DNS and email records you need, a launch checklist, real examples and what white labeling costs in 2026. New to the concept? Start with our guide to the white label client portal *[link: existing post]*. Already know you want one? See Taskip’s [white-label client portal software](https://taskip.net/features/client-portal/).

**TL;DR:: **Key Takeaways****

- Setting up a white label client portal takes 8 steps, from deciding what clients see to a pilot launch.
- Steps 3 to 5 cover the three layers of white labeling: branding, a custom domain and branded email.
- The technical work is two DNS jobs: a CNAME record for your domain, and SPF, DKIM and DMARC records for your email.
- Run a launch checklist and pilot with 1 or 2 clients before you invite everyone.
- Choose a platform by the plan that unlocks full white labeling, not by the starting price.

## What Is A White Label Client Portal?

A white label client portal is a client-facing workspace that runs on your own domain, carries your branding, sends emails from your address and shows no sign of the software vendor. For the full explainer, read our guide to the [white label client portal](https://taskip.net/what-is-a-white-label-client-portal/).

![client portal custom domain ](https://taskip.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/client-portal_converted-1-1024x650.webp)

The software vendor stays invisible. To your client, the portal looks like something your business built. If you are new to the category, start with what [client portal software](https://taskip.net/client-portal-software/) does, and how it differs from a CRM in [CRM vs client portal](https://taskip.net/crm-vs-client-portal/).

### The 3 Layers You Will Set Up: Branding, Domain and Email

When a vendor says “white label,” check which of these three layers you actually get.

1. **Look and feel:** Logo, brand colors, favicon, login page design, and portal menu labels. This is the layer most tools offer, sometimes on every plan.
2. **Domain:** The portal runs on your own address, such as portal.youragency.com, with an SSL certificate so the browser shows a secure padlock. You set this up with a CNAME record at your DNS provider.
3. **Email:** Notifications, invoices and password resets come from an address like hello@youragency.com. This needs custom SMTP or a verified sending domain with SPF and DKIM records, otherwise emails may land in spam or show the vendor’s name.

A portal that covers all three layers is fully white labeled. If one layer is missing, clients will eventually notice, usually when a password reset email arrives from a software company they have never heard of.

## How to Set Up a White Label Client Portal in 8 Steps

Here is how to set up a white label client portal from scratch. Before you start, have three things ready: your logo files, access to your domain’s DNS settings, and the email address you want clients to see. Most of the work is planning and content; the technical part (domain and email) takes about an hour.

![How to Set Up a White Label Client Portal](https://taskip.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/White-Label-Client-Portal-Setup-Roadmap-1_converted-1024x576.webp)

### Step 1: Define What Your Clients Should See

List what a client needs from you each week: project status, files, approvals, invoices and a way to ask questions. Anything not on that list stays internal. This short list decides which features you need and keeps the portal simple.

### Step 2: Choose a White Label Client Portal Platform

Match platforms to your list, then check which plan unlocks full white labeling: custom domain, branded email and removal of vendor branding. The comparison table later in this guide shows this for eight tools.

### Step 3: Apply Your Branding (Logo, Colors and Login Page)

Upload your logo and favicon, set brand colors, and customize the login page. Remove any “Powered by” badge if your plan allows it. Together with steps 4 and 5, this is what turns a generic tool into a [branded client portal with your own domain](https://taskip.net/features/client-portal/).

### Step 4: Connect a Custom Domain With SSL

Choose a subdomain such as portal.yourbrand.com. At your DNS provider, add the CNAME record your platform gives you, pointing that subdomain to the vendor’s host. Wait for DNS to propagate (minutes to a few hours), then confirm the SSL certificate is active and the padlock shows in the browser. Many platforms issue the certificate for free automatically, often through [Let’s Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/how-it-works/).

### Step 5: Set Up Custom SMTP and a Verified Sender

Connect your own SMTP server or verify your sending domain. Then add the DNS records your platform provides: [set up SPF](https://support.google.com/a/answer/33786), [set up DKIM](https://support.google.com/a/answer/174124), and [set up DMARC](https://support.google.com/a/answer/2466580) if you do not have one yet. Mailbox providers expect this; [Gmail’s email sender guidelines](https://support.google.com/a/answer/81126) ask senders to authenticate their domain. Send a test email and check it lands in the inbox, not spam.

> Steps 3 to 5 live in your Taskip workspace settings. On paid plans you can connect a custom domain (for example app.yourbrand.com), add your own SMTP server and a custom sending email, and set up portal SEO and a custom sign-in page. Full white-label branding and client portal customization, which remove Taskip branding, are included from the Growing Agency plan.

### Step 6: Configure Client Roles and Permissions

Decide what each client role can view and do. Hide internal notes and tasks. Set up client-side teams if a client has several people who need access, then log in as a test client to confirm they see only their own data.

### Step 7: Add Services, Projects and Invoice Templates

Create project templates for your common services, brand your invoice and proposal templates, and connect a payment gateway such as Stripe or PayPal.

### Step 8: Pilot With 1 or 2 Clients, Then Invite Everyone

Pick a friendly client, walk them through the portal, and fix anything confusing. Then send a welcome email to the rest with a short video or guide. Our [client portal onboarding process](https://taskip.net/client-portal-onboarding-guide/) covers what to include.

## White Label Client Portal Setup & Launch Checklist

Run through this white label client portal checklist before you invite your first client. Each row is a quick yes or no.

| Area | Check before launch |
| --- | --- |
| **Branding** | Logo, favicon and brand colors applied; login page customized; no vendor badge or “Powered by” text anywhere |
| **Domain** | Custom subdomain live; SSL padlock shows; old vendor URL redirects or is not shared with clients |
| **Email** | SMTP or verified sender connected; SPF and DKIM pass; test emails land in the inbox; templates use your name and tone |
| **Access** | Client roles set; internal tasks and notes hidden; 2FA available; a test client account sees only its own data |
| **Content** | Project templates ready; welcome message or onboarding screen written; help doc or short video linked |
| **Payments** | Payment gateway connected; invoice template branded; tax and currency settings correct; a test payment completed |
| **Testing** | Logged in as a test client on desktop and phone; password reset email tested; file upload and download tested |

**Get the templates:** Prefer a guided rollout? Follow the [7-day client portal setup checklist](https://taskip.net/client-portal-setup-checklist-7-days/), build your own list with the [free client onboarding checklist generator](https://taskip.net/tools/client-onboarding-checklist-generator/), or start from the [agency client onboarding template](https://taskip.net/templates/agency-client-onboarding/).

## Why Do Agencies and Small Businesses Use a White Label Client Portal?

The short answer: it makes a small team look and work like a bigger, more organized one. It is one of several [white label tools for agencies](https://taskip.net/white-label-tools-for-agencies/) that let you deliver work under your own brand. The benefits show up in four places.

![Why Do Agencies and Small Businesses Use a White Label Client Portal?](https://taskip.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/White-Label-Client-Portal-Ecosystem_converted-1024x576.webp)

- **Perceived value:** A portal on your own domain feels like a product you built. Clients connect the experience to your brand, which supports premium pricing.
- **Fewer email threads:** Updates, files and approvals live in one place, so you spend less time answering “any update?” messages.
- **Retention:** When a client’s project history, invoices and files all sit in your portal, switching to another provider means leaving all of that behind.
- **Upsell and resale:** Some businesses package the portal itself as part of their service, or add paid support and maintenance plans inside it.

### White Label Client Portal for Agencies and Freelancers

Agencies juggle many clients at once. A white label client portal gives each client a private space for their project, deliverables, approvals and invoices, while your team works from one dashboard. Freelancers get the same benefit at a smaller scale: a professional front door that makes a one-person business look established. For a deeper look at agency needs, see our guide to the [best client portal for agencies](https://taskip.net/client-portal-for-agencies/).

### White Label Client Portal for Small Business

Accounting firms, consultants, coaches and service providers use a white label client portal for small business needs like secure document exchange, appointment booking, signed agreements and online payments. The main goal is usually trust. Clients share sensitive files more comfortably on a portal that clearly belongs to the business they hired.

### White Label Client Portal for SaaS Companies and Resellers

A white label client portal for SaaS teams often works as a customer onboarding or support hub. Resellers and consultants who implement software for clients also use white label portals to deliver services under their own brand. In both cases, the vendor’s name staying hidden is the whole point.

## What Features Should a White Label Client Portal Have?

Most portal tools list similar features. The differences hide in plan limits and setup details, so each feature below includes the question to ask before you commit.

![White Label Client Portal Features](https://taskip.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/White-Label-Client-Portal-Features_converted-1024x683.webp)

### 1. Custom Domain and SSL Certificate

For white label, the most important thing is a client portal custom domain. Your portal should run on a subdomain you own, like portal.youragency.com, served over HTTPS.

**What to check:** Is the custom domain included on your plan or locked to a higher tier? Does the vendor issue the SSL certificate automatically?

### 2. Custom SMTP and Branded Email Notifications

Every notification, invoice and login email should come from your domain. It should ensure a client portal branded email. Authentication records (SPF, DKIM and DMARC) prove those emails really come from you; here is [how DMARC works](https://dmarc.org/overview/).

**What to check:** Can you connect your own SMTP server or verify a sending domain? Can you edit email templates so the vendor’s name never appears?

### 3. Logo, Brand Colors, Login Page and Vendor Branding Removal

This is the visible layer: brand colors, favicon, a custom sign-in page and no “Powered by” badge.

**What to check:** Is “Powered by” removal included, or is it a separate add-on? Does branding apply to the login screen and PDFs, not just the dashboard?

### 4. Client Roles and Permissions

Clients should see only their own projects, files and invoices. Some clients also need multiple users from their own team.

**What to check:** Can you invite several people from one client company? Can you hide internal tasks and notes from clients?

### 5. Projects, Tasks and Client Approvals

Clients want to see progress without asking. Approvals on deliverables keep feedback in one place.

**What to check:** Can clients view project status and approve deliverables inside the portal? Which views do you get (list, Kanban, Gantt, calendar)?

### 6. Secure File Sharing

A secure place to exchange contracts, briefs, assets and reports.

**What to check:** Storage limits per plan, maximum upload size, and whether clients can upload files to you.

### 7. Invoicing and Online Payments

If clients pay you through the portal, you avoid chasing payments in a separate tool.

**What to check:** Which payment gateways are supported (Stripe, PayPal, bank transfer)? Does the vendor take a transaction fee on top of the gateway fee?

### 8. Support Tickets and Client Messaging

A place for questions and requests that does not live in your personal inbox.

**What to check:** Is there real-time chat, a ticket system, or both? Are messages tied to the right project?

### 9. Integrations and Mobile Access

The portal should connect to the tools you already use and work on a phone.

**What to check:** Zapier or API access, native mobile apps, and whether the mobile app can carry your branding or only the vendor’s.

## White Label Client Portal Examples by Business Type

The best way to picture a white label client portal is to see what each type of business puts in front of its clients. Here are six common setups.

### 1. Marketing Agency Client Portal

A retainer client logs in at portal.agencyname.com and sees this month’s campaign tasks, content waiting for approval, the latest performance report, and the next retainer invoice. Comments on each deliverable replace long email chains. See how a [client portal for digital marketing agencies](https://taskip.net/client-portal/agencies/digital-marketing-agencies/) handles this.

### 2. Web Development Studio Client Portal

The client sees project milestones (design, development, staging, launch), a link to the staging site, files for review, and a sign-off step before launch. Milestone invoices sit next to each phase. Our page on the [client portal for web development agencies](https://taskip.net/client-portal/agencies/web-development-agencies/) shows the full flow.

### 3. Bookkeeping and Accounting Firm Client Portal

The focus here is secure document exchange. Clients upload receipts and statements, download completed reports, sign engagement letters and pay invoices. Permissions matter most, since every client must see only their own files.

### 4. Consultant and Coach Client Portal

A lighter setup: a booking link for sessions, shared notes and action items, a document library, and a payment page for packages. One branded login keeps the experience feeling premium.

### 5. SaaS Reseller and Implementation Partner Portal

The partner delivers onboarding and support for software they resell. The portal holds an onboarding checklist, a support ticket form, training documents and subscription invoices, all under the partner’s brand.

### 6. Freelancer Client Portal

A solo designer or developer uses the portal to share proposals, collect a signed contract and deposit, deliver files and send the final invoice. For a freelancer, the portal does the job of a project manager and an accounts team. If you are just starting out, compare options in [client portal software for freelancers](https://taskip.net/client-portal-software-freelancers/).

### What These White Label Client Portal Examples Have in Common

| Example | Main thing the client sees | Must-have feature |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Marketing agency | Approvals and reports | Task approvals |
| Web dev studio | Milestones and staging links | Project tracking |
| Bookkeeping firm | Documents and statements | Permissions and file security |
| Consultant or coach | Sessions and action items | Scheduling |
| SaaS reseller | Onboarding and tickets | Support ticketing |
| Freelancer | Proposal, contract, invoice | Invoicing and e-signature |

## Best White Label Client Portal Software in 2026: Comparison Table

Want a head-to-head breakdown? See [Taskip vs OneSuite](https://taskip.net/comparison/taskip-vs-onesuite/), [Taskip vs AgencyHandy](https://taskip.net/comparison/taskip-vs-agencyhandy/) and [Taskip vs SuiteDash](https://taskip.net/comparison/taskip-vs-suitedash/).

### 1. Taskip: Best All-in-One White Label Client Portal for Agencies and Freelancers

![](https://taskip.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/taskip-homepage-1024x500.webp)

[Taskip](https://taskip.net) combines a client portal with CRM, projects, proposals, invoicing, e-signatures, support tickets and team chat. Every paid plan includes the client portal with unlimited client accounts, a custom domain, an SMTP server and a custom sending email. Full white-label branding and portal customization start on the Growing Agency plan at $59/mo, which also covers 25 users. Clients can pay through Stripe, PayPal or bank transfer, and Taskip charges no transaction fees.

### 2. SuiteDash: Best for Unlimited Users and a Branded Mobile App

![](https://taskip.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/suitedash_converted-1024x410.webp)

SuiteDash puts white labeling on every plan, starting at $19/mo, with unlimited staff and clients and a custom branded mobile app. Its feature list is very broad, from CRM and proposals to an LMS. The trade-off is depth: support tickets and the full automation toolkit sit on the $99/mo Pinnacle plan, and the breadth means a longer setup.

### 3. Assembly (Formerly Copilot): Best for Client Experience With a Free Plan

![](https://taskip.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/assembly-1-1024x612.webp)

Copilot’s pricing page now redirects to Assembly. It offers a free plan for up to 5 active contacts, with messaging, billing and an app builder. Custom domains and removing the Assembly badge start on the Professional plan, listed at $99/mo billed annually with 3 internal users. Strong client experience; less suited to agencies that need deep task management.

### 4. OneSuite: Best Low-Cost Per-Seat Option

![](https://taskip.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/onesuite_converted-1-1024x542.webp)

OneSuite uses a single Pro plan with all features, priced at $9 per user per month ($7 billed annually). White labeling is a separate add-on at $29/mo, discounted from a listed $99. Good value for small teams; costs grow with each seat you add.

### 5. AgencyHandy: Best for Productized Service Agencies

![](https://taskip.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/agencyhandy-1024x475.webp)

AgencyHandy focuses on productized services, orders and subscriptions. Custom branding is on the $29/mo Freelancer plan, but custom domain and email need Team Starter at $99/mo for 10 users. A good fit for agencies that sell packaged services.

### 6. Clinked: Best for Secure Document Collaboration

![](https://taskip.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/clinked_converted-1024x491.webp)

Clinked is built for secure file sharing and collaboration, with strong compliance options. Your own domain arrives on the Standard plan ($239/mo for 100 members), and white-label email notifications on Premium. There is no invoicing, so agencies will need a separate billing tool.

### 7. Moxo: Best for Enterprise Client Onboarding Workflows

![](https://taskip.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Moxo_converted-1-1024x478.webp)

Moxo targets larger companies that run multi-step onboarding and service workflows with clients and AI agents. Pricing is not published; you request a demo or trial. A strong fit for enterprise operations, usually more than a small agency needs.

### 8. Softr: Best No-Code Builder for Custom Client Portals

![](https://taskip.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/softr_converted-1024x469.webp)

Softr lets you build a custom portal on top of your own database without code. It is flexible, but invoicing, approvals and branded email are things you assemble yourself. Removing Softr branding requires a higher paid tier.

## White Label Client Portal Pricing: What to Expect in 2026

White label client portal pricing usually runs from free to a few hundred dollars a month, but the starting price rarely tells you the real cost. What matters is the plan where full white labeling switches on, as you can see on the [Taskip pricing plans](https://taskip.net/price-plan/) page. Not sure the spend pays off? Run the numbers in [Is a client portal worth it?](https://taskip.net/client-portal-roi-calculator-freelancers/)

### 4 Common Client Portal Pricing Models

- **Flat rate per plan:** One monthly price for a set number of users, such as Taskip or SuiteDash. Predictable, and you do not pay more for each new client.
- **Per seat:** You pay for each team member, such as OneSuite. Cheap for one or two people, more expensive as you hire.
- **Per client or contact:** Price rises with the number of active clients, as with Assembly’s contact limits.
- **White label as an add-on:** The portal is cheap, but removing vendor branding is a separate monthly fee.

### When Is White Labeling Included vs. a Paid Upgrade?

| Tool | Lowest paid plan | Where full white label starts |
| --- | --- | --- |
| SuiteDash | $19/mo | Included from $19/mo |
| Taskip | $12/mo | $59/mo (Growing Agency) |
| OneSuite | $9/user/mo | +$29/mo add-on |
| AgencyHandy | $29/mo | $99/mo (Team Starter) for domain and email |
| Assembly | $29/mo billed annually | $99/mo billed annually (Professional) |
| Clinked | $11/user | $239/mo for own domain; branded emails on Premium |

### Hidden Costs to Budget For

- **Custom domain:** Some tools only include it on higher plans, or charge for extra domains.
- **Email sending:** If you use your own SMTP, you may pay for an email service such as a transactional email provider.
- **Extra users and storage:** Check limits before you hit them mid-project.
- **Payment fees:** Gateway fees always apply; some platforms add their own transaction fee on top.
- **Branded mobile app:** Usually a top-tier feature or a paid add-on.

## Should You Build or Buy a White Label Client Portal?

You have three ways to get a white label client portal online: build it from scratch, assemble it with a no-code builder, or use a ready-made portal tool.

| Option | Best when | Trade-off |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Custom build | You sell the portal as a product, or need unusual workflows | Highest cost and ongoing maintenance; you own security and updates |
| No-code builder (Softr, Noloco, Stacker) | You have unique data and want full layout control | You assemble invoicing, approvals and email yourself |
| Ready-made portal tool (Taskip, SuiteDash, AgencyHandy) | You run a service business and want to launch this week | Less layout freedom; you work within the tool’s structure |

For most agencies and small businesses, buying is faster and cheaper. Build or use a no-code builder only if the portal itself is your product, as with some SaaS companies.

## Common White Label Client Portal Mistakes to Avoid

- **Branding without good portal design:** A logo on a cluttered dashboard still feels cluttered. Show clients the few things they need and hide the rest.
- **Forgetting email deliverability:** Skipping SPF and DKIM means invoices and login emails land in spam. Test with a few different email providers before launch.
- **Giving clients too much access:** Internal comments, draft tasks or other clients’ files should never be visible. Test with a dummy client account.
- **No onboarding:** Sending a login link with no explanation leads to clients emailing you anyway. Add a short welcome message, a 2-minute video or a one-page guide.
- **Choosing on starting price alone:** Check which plan unlocks your domain, branded email and branding removal before you commit.

## Final Thoughts: Launch Your White Label Client Portal

A white label client portal gives your clients one branded place for everything: progress, files, approvals, messages and invoices. Get the three layers right (look and feel, domain, email), follow the 8 setup steps, and run the checklist before launch. To see how other agencies did it, browse our [Taskip customer case studies](https://taskip.net/case-studies/).

## White Label Client Portal FAQs

### Do I Need Technical Skills to Set Up a White Label Client Portal?

No. Most platforms handle hosting, SSL and security for you. The only technical tasks are adding a CNAME record for your domain and SPF, DKIM and DMARC records for your email, which you copy from the platform into your DNS settings. If you can edit DNS at your domain registrar, you can do it.

### Is There a Free White Label Client Portal?

Some tools offer free plans with a client portal, such as Taskip and Assembly, but full white labeling is almost always a paid feature. Free plans usually keep the vendor’s branding or limit custom domains. Expect to pay for a plan that removes vendor branding completely.

### How Much Does a White Label Client Portal Cost?

Most tools charge between $19 and $99 a month for full white labeling, based on vendor pricing pages checked in October 2026. Enterprise tools can cost several hundred dollars a month or more. Always check which plan unlocks custom domain, branded email and branding removal.

### Can I Use My Own Domain and Email Address?

Yes. Most white label client portal tools let you connect a subdomain like portal.yourbrand.com with a CNAME record. For email, you connect your own SMTP server or verify your sending domain with SPF and DKIM records, so notifications come from your address instead of the vendor’s.

### How Long Does It Take to Set Up a White Label Client Portal?

A basic setup takes a few hours: branding, domain, email and one project template. DNS changes can take up to a day to fully propagate. Most businesses are ready to invite a pilot client within a week, including writing onboarding content and testing with a dummy account.

### White Label vs. Private Label: What’s the Difference?

Both mean selling or using a product under your own brand. In software, white label usually means a ready-made product you rebrand, often shared by many businesses. Private label usually suggests something made exclusively for one brand. For client portals, the terms are often used interchangeably.

### Is a White Label Client Portal Secure?

It can be more secure than email and shared drive links, because files sit behind a login with permissions. Look for SSL on your custom domain, two-factor authentication, role-based access, and clear data hosting details. If you handle EU client data, check [GDPR requirements](https://gdpr.eu/what-is-gdpr/), and ask vendors how they protect against the [OWASP Top 10](https://owasp.org/www-project-top-ten/) web security risks.

### What Is the Best White Label Client Portal for Agencies?

The best choice depends on budget and workflow. Agencies that want projects, invoicing, support and branding in one tool often choose all-in-one platforms like Taskip or SuiteDash. Agencies selling packaged services may prefer AgencyHandy, while document-heavy firms may lean toward Clinked.

### Can I Resell a White Label Client Portal to My Clients?

Yes, in many cases. Agencies often include portal access as part of a retainer or charge for it as a managed service. If you want to resell the software itself, check the vendor’s terms or reseller program first, since standard plans may not allow it.
